Line a baking tray with baking paper or a silicon mat and pipe small circles (3cm across) onto the tray, leaving a small gap between each macaron.

Put the tray to one side to rest for 15 minutes to allow a slight skin to form.

Preheat the oven to 160°C.

Pick the tray up and drop it onto a flat surface from a small height- this forms the ‘feet’ that are associated with macarons.

Bake for 15 minutes, then remove and allow to chill at room temperature until completely cold.

Sandwich the macarons with a filling of choice:

-raspberry jam (pink)
-lemon curd (yellow)
-chocolate spread (blue)

Makes: approximately 48.

I made these macaroons with a few of my friends as of recently. It took a few attempts for us to perfect the method, however it was definitely worth it! I'd love to see the macaroons that you have made, so feel free to send me photos at sarahcolee11@gmail.com.
